Our land development process

The life cycle of your project

Let the experts at DCI transform your vision into brick and mortar reality. Explore the stages of our comprehensive building approach and learn what to expect from the experts at DCI.

1. Project initiation

As the client, you define your vision for the project and identify goals. This will include the size and scope, location, function, and ideal timeline of the project.

2. Feasibility study

Next, we conduct a feasibility study, or detailed analysis of a project’s potential for success. The study includes analyses of the existing features, topography, utilities, vegetation, easements, title/legal items, city development requirements, and financial variables.

3. Conceptual design and planning

In this phase, our team outlines the scope of the project. This is the roadmap that guides the project. It is where artistic vision, creativity, and technical skill combine with innovative solutions to set a clear path for your construction project. An estimated cost of the project will also be developed during this phase.

4. Construction documentation

We generate detailed drawings, models, and blueprints and identify and select the most appropriate materials to align the structural requirements with the desired aesthetic. This is also the phase in which necessary permits are secured.

5. Construction oversight

Construction oversight ensures that the built product meets your vision as it was drawn. DCI’s oversight means that you receive the best quality work for your dollar. We oversee the entire process, starting with your contractor’s groundwork for the project: excavation, grading, and foundations. We help architects, engineers, and contractors ensure that every aspect meets or exceeds required standards and specifications.

6. Inspections and testing

We implement stringent quality control measures during the inspection process, including verification of adherence to codes that ensure the highest standards of safety and durability.
